Description

£102.99 – 7x 12″ Singles Boxset

Depeche Mode‘s 12″ vinyl singles project continues with the release of Music For The Masses: The 12″ Singles. This definitive box set contains the 12″ vinyl singles contemporaneous to Music For The Masses (1987). A pivotal release in the Depeche Mode canon, this album advanced the band’s musical mission, moving their sound from industrial pop into darker atmospheric emotional territory. The band’s previous release, Black Celebration (1986), became the group’s then-highest charting album in both the UK and Germany, expanding their influence across pop culture while inspiring myriad young musicians to start bands of their own.

The following year, Music For The Masses furthered Depeche Mode’s international mass appeal, breaking open the United States and other markets with the record-setting Music For The Masses Tour. An electrifying and historic adventure for band and audiences worldwide, the tour included Depeche Mode concerts in then-communist East Berlin, Budapest, and Prague.

The singles from the Music For The Masses era extended Depeche Mode’s increasingly mind-blowing run of 12″ singles and featured some of the band’s most sublime artwork to date; showcasing some of the most enduring singles in the Depeche Mode back-catalogue; such as “Never Let Me Down Again” and “Strangelove” (Depeche Mode’s first #1 US Dance chart hit).

Music For The Masses: The 12″ Singles includes the seven original and special edition 12″ vinyl singles from the album.

Also available is the Black Celebration: The 12″ Singles Boxset including five original and special edition 12″ vinyl singles from the album.
